Excitement is building across Nigeria as the Super Eagles prepare to face host nation Morocco in the semi-final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The high-stakes clash is set for Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at 9:00 p.m., taking place at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
Fans are eagerly anticipating this showdown, with Nigeria aiming to earn a coveted spot in the tournament final.
Path to the Semi-Finals
The Eagles stormed into the last four after a commanding 2-0 victory over Algeria at the Stade de Marrakech.
This win not only showcased their attacking prowess but also set up a thrilling semi-final against the tournament hosts, Morocco, who had earlier edged past Cameroon in their quarter-final clash.
Prior to the quarter-finals, Nigeria had impressed with a dominant 4-0 win against Mozambique in the Round of 16, scoring a total of 12 goals in four games — the highest of any team in the tournament so far.
Their free-flowing style and goal-scoring efficiency have made them one of the most exciting teams to watch this season.
Algeria’s Stalwart Defense Meets Its Match
Algeria had been the team to beat heading into the quarter-finals.
Unbeaten in their previous four matches and having conceded only once, their defensive setup was widely praised.
However, the Super Eagles proved too strong, breaking through their organized backline and sealing a decisive victory that sent shockwaves through fans of both sides.
Looking Ahead
Now, all eyes are on Rabat as Nigeria prepares to tackle Morocco.
The host nation will certainly pose a tough challenge, but the Eagles’ recent form suggests they are more than ready to take on the North African giants and keep their dreams of lifting the trophy alive.
